Key Features
Optimum Reliability is assured by the advantages listed below:
- Low Maintenance the PVC housing needs no maintenance as the systems are designed with minimal brush wear in mind, thus minimising the presence of carbon deposits.
- Maximum Power Transmission the brushes are positively located in the PVC housing and contact with the flat copper conductors is maintained by spring pressure. This guarantees positive contact and power transmission.
- Quick and Easy Installation due to lightweight PVC housing and the design of accessory components, system installation is a quick and easy operation.
- No Expansion Problems due to the clearance that exists between the conductors and their location, and the clearance between the PVC housing and sliding hangers, expansion due to changes in ambient temperature is accommodated without affecting the operation of the system.
- Extremely Long System lengths are possible by installing our expansion joints which allow for the use of the continuous copper strips
- High Travel Speeds available on all our conductor systems
- High Mechanical Strengths the PVC housing has a combination of high flexural yield, impact and tensile strengths and is complimented by the design of associated components
- Self-extinguishing for safety reasons the housing materials have a self-extinguishing feature

For all but ClickDuctor®, Metreel’s conductor systems offer uninterrupted copper conductors. These flat copper conductors can be pulled from rolls into the previously installed PVC housing in long continuous lengths. The fixed electric feed point can be placed at either the end (End fed) or at a convenient point anywhere along the system (centre fed).
Optimal Contact
The flat, smooth copper surface guarantees an optimal contact with the carbon brush.
No Plug Connections
The best method to reduce voltage loss is an uninterrupted copper conductor. This is essential when it concerns reliable transmission of control signals.
Capacity Extendable
The installation can be extended at all times and at any moment. For instance, due to a changed situation, additional or heavier copper conductors can be installed.
Extremely Low Maintenance
Due to the absence of plug connections the surface of the copper conductors is extremely smooth, which ensures minimal brush wear. The copper conductors as well as the carbon brushes are therefore extremely low maintenance.
Alternative Strips
Sliver-plated strips can be installed in the channels, for use in extreme weather conditions or other challenging applications
Quick Installation
The strips can quickly and easily be pulled into the channels, using the copper cassette and a copper puller
Accommodation of Curves
With our uninterrupted copper conductor systems a range of curves/bends are available on request.
